My Artistic Approach
My style varies depending on what inspires me but I tend to drift towards impressionism being influenced by Monet for my floral work particularly waterlilies . I love the classical seascapes of Turner and tend to give them a contemporary twist . I also like to experiment with abstract styles, mixed media and different techniques . I love palette knife painting and I am known for my signature textures . I also love painting venetian scenes and never tire of the subject matter capturing something different each time . I have sold probably thousands of paintings in my lifetime . Many are in collections in the UK but also in Australia,USA,Canada, Switzerland,Dubai,Spain,Belgium,Denmark and South Africa

Lesley Blackburn originally set up onlinartgallery in 2019 with 6 artists to try and help both established artists who are struggling to earn a living and to showcase emerging talent and encourage lesser known artists to establish themselves in the marketplace . The gallery has grown a great deal now both in terms of the number of artists we have both internationally and within the UK . Lesley has a very hands on approach supporting and nurturing individuals . We are always looking for something different to offer the customer and believe in good customer service . The new site of onlinartgallery is being launched in October 2021 and promises to deliver to both customers and artists . We hope we are providing something different to the art market with our personal approach . Our Gallery is well supported by our wonderful marketing team at SQ Digital , Lancaster
